About FoundationOneCDx
FoundationOneCDx is for prescription use only and is an FDA-approved qualitative next-generation sequencing based in vitro diagnostic test for advanced cancer patients with solid tumors. The test analyzes 324 genes as well as genomic signatures including microsatellite instability (MSI) and tumor mutational burden (TMB) and is a companion diagnostic to identify patients who may benefit from treatment with specific therapies in accordance with the approved therapeutic product labeling. Additional genomic findings may be reported and are not prescriptive or conclusive for labeled use of any specific therapeutic product. Use of the test does not guarantee a patient will be matched to a treatment. A negative result does not rule out the presence of an alteration. Some patients may require a biopsy which may pose a risk. For the complete label, including companion diagnostic indications and important risk information, please visit www.F1CDxLabel.com.
About FoundationOneLiquid CDx
FoundationOneLiquid CDx is for prescription use only and is an FDA-approved qualitative next-generation sequencing based in vitro diagnostic test for advanced cancer patients with solid tumors. The test analyzes 324 genes utilizing circulating cell-free DNA and is FDA-approved to report short variants in 311 genes, rearrangements in 8 genes and copy number alterations in 3 genes, and as a companion diagnostic to identify patients who may benefit from treatment with specific therapies in accordance with the approved therapeutic product labeling. Additional genomic findings may be reported and are not prescriptive or conclusive for labeled use of any specific therapeutic product. Use of the test does not guarantee a patient will be matched to a treatment. A negative result does not rule out the presence of an alteration. When considering eligibility for ROZLYTREK based on the detection of NTRK1/2/3 and ROS1 fusions, or for TEPMETKO based on the detection of MET SNVs and indels that lead to MET exon 14 skipping, testing using plasma specimens is only appropriate for patients for whom tumor tissue is not available for testing. Patients who are negative for companion diagnostic mutations should be reflexed to tumor tissue testing and mutation status confirmed using an FDA-approved tumor tissue test, if feasible. For the complete label, including companion diagnostic indications and complete risk information, please visit www.F1LCDxLabel.com.
About FoundationOneRNA
FoundationOneRNA is a laboratory developed test that was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Foundation Medicine. FoundationOne RNA has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. FoundationOne RNA is a test for solid tumors which utilizes RNA sequencing to interrogate 318 cancer-related genes to capture gene fusions and rearrangements. A negative result does not rule out the presence of an alteration. Genomic findings are not prescriptive or conclusive for labeled use of any specific therapeutic product.
About FoundationOneMonitor
FoundationOneMonitor is a laboratory developed test that was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Foundation Medicine. This test has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. FoundationOne Monitor is a test for patients with solid malignant neoplasms that detects and longitudinally tracks circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), reported as ctDNA tumor fraction (a determination of the amount of ctDNA as a fraction of total cell free DNA in a blood sample) as a biomarker for tumor content in the blood. Treatment decisions are the responsibility of the treating physician. ctDNA tumor fraction determination sensitivity may be limited if blood collection occurs within two weeks of surgery. ctDNA not detected status does not definitively indicate the absence of cancer and declining ctDNA tumor fraction does not necessarily indicate a response to therapy. This test is not designed to detect or report germline variation, nor does it infer hereditary cancer risk for a patient. This test is expected to have limited sensitivity in some cancer types due to limited ctDNA shed.
